Cerebral Venous Thrombosis after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting: A Case Report

Abstract: Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is a simple procedure, but there are several potential complications. We describe the first reported case of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) after VPS. A 69-year-old man suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus underwent left VPS. Two months later he developed CVT and cerebral venous hemorrhage in the left frontal lobe. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the thrombus formation just adjacent to the shunt tube. One possible cause is com… Show more

“…Having found the significance can be a contribution, which makes a case report stand. 5 When determining the authorship, we must consider whether the clinic doctor who transferred the patient contributed to a paper and, thus, should be listed as a coauthor. To further illustrate the situation, I provide examples.…”

“…[ 2 ] Ventriculoperitoneal shunting or spinal surgery was reported as causes of CVT. [ 3 4 ] Intracranial hypotension (IH) induced by decreased CSF is hypothesized to damage of cerebral veins by stretching and dilation, thus triggering CVT.…”

“…Hypertension, which promotes the occurrence of cerebral venous dysfunction-mediated brain tissue damage, such as venous sinus thrombosis, venous cerebral infarction, venous cerebral hemorrhage, periventricular venous disease, venous neurocytotoxicity, neurodegeneration and demyelination, is one of the primary risk factors of cerebrovascular disease ( 1 4 ). Vascular remodeling has been shown to be important for the progression of hypertension-mediated cerebrovascular disease ( 5 ).…”
